This can be found on the control panel, inside the Fridge, at the top. It looks like this: NOTE: When the control panel is connected to a power source, the green Power Indicator lamp (3) and the red Over-temperature warning lamp (4) illuminate. KE Y 1. TEMPERATURE SETTING Fridge-Freezer Thermostat setting Turning the knob setting clockwise (from a smaller dot to a larger dot) will make all the compartments of your fridgefreezer colder. Because the interior temperature may dip below 0°C, you should not leave your fridge on the maximum setting for long periods. -It takes time for your appliance to cool to the desired level. 7 UNDERSTANDING your Baumatic BR27B FRIDGE-FREEZER NOTE ON LONGER TERM STORAGE OF ITEMS IN YOUR FRIDGE: o In general, you should use the mid-settings (middle sized dots) for longer storage of food in the fridge. This will produce a mid-coldness that is good for standard storage. o Turning the dial to a smaller dot setting will give a milder coldness to the interior to your fridge-freezer. NOTE: If you turn the dial all the way down (anticlockwise), you will make the fridge STOP. Although the light will still function, there will be no power used for cooling items of food and drink. 2 . P O WE R I N D I C A T O R This light comes on after the appliance has been plugged in. It will turn off should the power become interrupted in any way (unplugging, blown fuse, blackouts, etc.). 3 & 4.

ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER • To reduce humidity inside your fridgefreezer, NEVER place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Always dry off wet items before placing them in the appliance. • • Make sure that you arrange food in such a way that the door can close completely. Be especially wary of protruding items (such as bottles) between shelves and the inside of the door. • NEVER place warm food inside your refrigerator or freezer. Warm food must be allowed to cool at room temperature first. It should then be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment. If freezing, see page 17 for tips. • Crispy / delicate foods should be stored in the coldest parts of the fridge. • DO NOT open the refrigerator door too often or leave it open for long spells of time. 9 • ARRANGE meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will then use within 1-2 days. • You can put fruits and vegetables into the crisper without leaving them in their packaging. • Unpleasant odours within mean your fridge needs ARRANGING FOOD INmay YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER cleaning or that food has spoiled. • If you are planning on being away from your refrigerator for a few days (such as going on holiday), make sure that you remove quickly perishable articles of food from your fridge before you go and dispose of them. • Always be mindful of the storage life of foods you are going to be freezing for a long time. Although the temperature of the freezer can dip to a very low level this does not mean that food can be stored indefinitely. Pay particular attention to the information printed on the packaging of the foods you are going to be placing in your freezer. • You should seal your food in suitable storage bags before placing them in the refrigerator or freezer. Label freezer • bags appropriately. 13 Always store food with a view to how often it will be used. Food consumed daily should be placed in the most convenient area so that you don’t end up leaving the door open for long periods while you search for food. • Do NOT store excess quantities or weights of food. Always try to leave gaps between your packages for better ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER • storage results. • Do not place food too closely to the interior walls – items put too close to the walls may freeze to them! • If you place vegetables with their stalks or roots facing towards the cold source, you will be able to store them for longer. • The leaves on carrots, turnips, etc. should be removed before you store them. • Always store eggs vertically in the egg holder provided in the door. 8 Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should not be stored in the refrigerator as these types of food can be stored appropriately at room temperature. • Ripe squashes, melon, pawpaw, bananas and pineapples should not be stored in the refrigerator. Colder temperatures accelerate NOTES ON USING YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER the ripening process. ALWAYS Cover and wrap foods, especially if they are PUNGENT. DO NOT place paper or plastic on the shelves which would block the flow of air through the grids. NOTE: At the maximum cold setting, with a high outside (ambient) temperature and well-stocked (full or nearly full) compartments, the Fridge’s operation may be continuous. If your appliance has taken in an unusually high amount of moisture, some ice deposits may temporarily form inside, on the evaporator. 9 REMINDER: You should regulate the temperature of your Fridge bearing the following in mind: o o o o o Ambient temperature How often the doors are opened and closed Quantity of food stored in the compartments Moisture content of what you place in your fridge The location of your appliance IN CASE OF A BLACKOUT (GENERAL POWER FAILURE) In case of Power Failure, find out how long the electricity will be off. If the failure is not going to be for any longer than 12 hours, leave the food in the freezer and keep the door closed. If the POWER FAILURE is going to last longer than 12 hours and some food defrosts, consume the latter as soon as possible. LONG ABSENCES (holidays, etc.): In the case of long absences, your appliance must be switched off, emptied out completely, dried and the doors left open to prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant odours. STORAGE GUIDE FOR YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER The charts below are approximate guidelines only. STORING FOOD IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR 16 Remember to store food properly, observing advice on the packaging. STORING FOOD IN YOUR FREEZER suitable for freezing BEFORE they NOTE: When buying commercially are put into the freezer. Fresh foods – Foods to be stored in the freezer should be in good edible condition and 17 available frozen food, make sure that the packaging is neither sodden nor covered with frost (snow) before you place it in the freezer at home. ¾ Use correct packaging and wrap items correctly. ¾ The packaging should be airtight and shouldn’t leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration from your food. ¾ Foil and bags should be applied carefully to articles of food so that they can be stored systematically & comfortably within the freezer. ¾ Mark your packages with data such as: the type and amount of food inside the package, and the date on which it was prepared and loaded into the freezer. Defrosting Frozen Food – Partially thawed or defrosted food should be used as soon as possible. Defrosted food cannot be put back in the freezer unless it has been cooked first. ¾ ¾ It is very important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible. We therefore recommend that the size of the package not be too large. It should also be sufficiently cooled (at least to room temperature) before being inserted in the freezer compartment. ¾ The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded into the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate (freezing capacity). ¾ Food cut into small portions will freeze faster & be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is 2.5kg. ¾ The outside of any food packaging should be dry before being placed in the freezer. All packages should be odour-free, airtight & non-toxic. APPROXIMATE STORAGE TIME FOR FROZEN FOODS (Always read the information printed on the packaging of the foods you are about to store in your freezer). 18 NOTE: For fast, intensive cooling, turn the thermostat knob to a very high (i.e., close to maximum or CLEANING / MAINTENANCE maximum itself) position for some 24 hours. NOTE: Before attempting to clean your appliance, UNPLUG IT and make sure you do the following: 19 WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CLEAN THE INSIDE OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR ONCE A MONTH. 9 Pay particular attention to the sealing rubber bars of the doors. These need to be kept clean for hygienic reasons as well as to allow the door to close properly. 9 Leave the door open during cleaning. 9 Remove detachable accessories and wash them with water and 1-2 spoonfuls of vinegar. Do not wash accessories in your washing machine! 9 In order to collect any liquid caused by spillages or from exposure to excessive humidity, take out the bottom drawer and soak up the water using a sponge as shown in the figure pictured below. Y 9 Clean the inside of your Fridge using a solution of soda bicarbonate in warm water (1 tbsp Bicarbonate to 2 litres of water). NEVER USE SOLVENTS TO CLEAN THE INSIDE OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR. MAINTENANCE FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE INTERNAL BULB. REMEMBER TO UNPLUG YOU APPLIANCE FIRST Find the lamp housing in the top right of the refrigerator’s interior. Gently move the transparent lamp cover plate from the lamp cradle. Unscrew the bulb and replace with a new one, maximum of 15 CLEANING / MAINTENANCE w. HOW TO CLEAN THE CONDENSER – NOTE: You will be alerted to the presence of excessive amounts of dust on the condenser by a sound alarm. NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO MOVE 20 THE APPLIANCE FROM ITS POSITION IN THE UNIT IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE CONDENSER. DO SO WITH CAUTION! Upon hearing this alarm, you should: • Check the air circulation through the bottom rail openings. Your fridge-freezer needs good ventilation at the plinth level at the bottom. • If necessary, clean or vacuum the dust from the condenser. See the instructions BELOW. The condenser consists of the coil structure at the back of the refrigerator. To clean it: 1. 2. 3. Disconnect from the power supply. Move the refrigerator out of its cabinet housing. TAKE EXTREME CARE whilst performing this. The back of the appliance consists of the condenser coils. These must be either dusted lightly or vacuumed. Be careful not to damage them as they are vital to the appliance’s good functioning. After cleaning, move the refrigerator back into place. NOTE – FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO CLEAN THE DRAIN PAN THAT SITS ATOP THE COMPRESOR. Do NOT remove it to clean it. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS (at right): TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVINGS 21 9 Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, be sure to close it as soon as possible. 9 ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE HAS THE VENTILATION IT NEEDS. BE ESPECIALLY MINDFUL OF THE NEEDED AIRFLOW BETWEEN ITS PLINTH AND THE FLOOR (SEE INSTALLATION SECTION). 9 Use higher thermostat settings only if essential and not for constant, long-term use. 9 Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, ensure they are cooled to an ambient temperature (except in the case of soup). 9 If the door seal (gasket) is damaged, the energy consumption will be much higher. To keep the sealing in good condition, be sure not to spill oils or fats on it. A damaged seal will need to be replaced. A crushed one (usually if the door has been reversed) can be fluffed with a hair dryer. 9 The condenser at the bottom of the appliance must always be clean and free of dust. 22 INSTALLING YOUR BR27B FRIDGE-FREEZER NOTE – YOU NEED THE SPACES SHOWN HERE TO INSTALL YOUR APPLIANCE. -- 200 cm² -- 1776 1782 mm 575cm NOTE: Ensure that you are going to be placing your fridge away from heat sources and in a well-ventilated position.
